OTHER SIDE

and now

on the other side of hope


a certainty cracks a whip

on the scarred flesh of the timid


the simplest life requires a bravery

none of us know we have


unless in the middle of some act

we discover...to our lasting regret...that we don't...


all of this outside

the bounds of our thinking and our knowing


all of this outside

the limits of our imagination


on the other side of faith

a heart stripped bare in its beating...
